Mission Children's Hospital
Building an Endowment for Kids
No child is ever turned away from Mission Children's Hospital. The challenge is that reimbursements from insurers and the government do not begin to cover the cost of delivering pediatric care. As a result, children's hospitals depend heavily on the generosity of donors. With the help of the Mission Healthcare Foundation, Mission Children's Hospital continues to attract strong philanthropic support.
- Gold Medal Endowment - Mission Children's Hospital is focused on building an endowment that will ensure the future of high quality care for kids in Western North Carolina. The Foundation aims to grow this Gold Medal Endowment to provide an annual $2.5 million to secure the Children's Hospital's future and sustain its many programs, services and facilities.
- Radiothon success - Despite a troubled economy, the region's residents donated nearly $100,000 in two days in a radiothon fundraising event.
- Smiles for kids - Mission Children's Hospital became the first hospital in North Carolina to receive a Jester & Pharley™ Smile Cart. The carts are part of the Southern California-based Jester & Pharley Phund's efforts to provide emotional support and smiles to youngsters coping with illness.
